Since Marisca has been at nursery, and particularly since she's become so chatty, we regularly find ourselves in an odd situation. Marisca will see a family with a child her age, and start saying "Ella". "Ella". "Ella", or similar. After some confusion where we each try to work out what she's seen and what she's trying to say, one of us will ask if she knows the child, and it turns out she probably does, from Bonbons. Now what do we do? "Hello, it appears our child knows your child" doesn't quite work.
It's often particularly the case when I'm out with Marisca, as Elspeth does the majority of drop offs and pick ups, she recognises some of the parents. I have been at the swimming pool, minding our own business, when a small child walks up and says "Hello Marisca". If it's odd and slightly uncomfortable out on the street, it is definitely more so in a changing room.
